What is meant by continuous work experience ?

[mr.preetsingh]

Please asses my situation . I am currently working as a front end dev as a contractor in a pretty big company in Texas.
I have been on the same position for around a year and half and still there currently .
But, I have changed my contracting firm. There was no breaks in my employment at the client, just contracting agency switch. Same position though at the client. Does this still qualify as continuous employment? I have client letter for two years which I used for applying my h1 this year and last year.

As per CIC website, 12 months of continuous experience with one employer in last 10 years. Now, in your case, if the Employer name on Salary slip and Offer/Appointment/Contract letter remains same for 12 months, you are good to go.

Let me explain it a little further.
I've been working with Client A. But changed my employers .
Client A - employer A - 6 months.
Client A - employer B - 6 months.
Client A - employer C - 6 months.

I worked on the same position with the same team.. Just my employers changed that is on whose payroll I am changed.

Now for these employers there was a vendor in between. So I have letters for both the vendor and client from this year and last year that I've worked with them on a project named 'xyz' fron the past months.

1 year continuous experience can be in different jobs and even different NOC, please be informed

Not correct, it can be different employers and even with different NOC.

It can certainly be with a different employer but it does have to be in the applicants' primary NOC. You're looking at an expired bulletin.

"The applicant must have accumulated at least one year of continuous full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) paid work experience in the occupation identified in their application for permanent residence as their primary occupation. In calculating this period of work experience, the occupation must be listed in skill type 0 (Managerial occupations), skill level A (Professional occupations) or skill level B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2016 [R75(2)(a)]."

Incorrect. You are reading an old archive.

Please read following prerequisites. It clearly mentions about 12 months of continuous job. Sometimes, during changing jobs, people do not get salary stubs or gets a difference of some days from resignation and joining a new company, which are not accounted continuous. Thus, 12 months of continuous job in a single company under one NOC rules out all possibilities of rejection.

The best possibility is, if your NOC code was same throughout 18 months, then get reference letters from all three employers and mention in your LOE.

thank you for the prompt reply. Sorry for the other mistake. I am new to the website know hows.

Only 4 duties out of 13 match the main duties list in 2141. Is this good enough to qualify under this code? I do not want to be disqualified for misrepresentation.

This is the maximum i could match with any noc. Should i not apply with just 30% match..there are several NOCs that we can claim in work experience. One is primary anf others are secondary
